McCain's Most Insensitive Knee Slappers

Senator John McCain is a real card, the life of the party, a true yuckster. Nakedly partisan web-site Eyesonobama.com points out Sentor McCain's notorious sense of humor with a list that suggests the presumptive Republican nominee of President has all the sensitivity of a 50's era insult comic.

The old man tries so hard to be funny, it's almost endearing. When Senator McCain jokes around, the resulting punchline is invariably so awkward, it's funny. Personally, he seems like the sort of guy who loves a good joke, a hearty laugh, even if it comes at the expense of an ethnic minority, a woman, the handicapped, or any combination thereof. Of course, this list is just more political buckshot fired at a candidate in search of any invisible Achilles Heels. Senator McCain's jokes are inapprorpriate, but also human. Who doesn't have an elderly Uncle who tells off-color jokes. It's just best to shush the old man, roll your eyes, and hope he naps soon. Granted, Uncle Steve doesn't want to control America's nuclear arsenal, but that's neither here nor there.

That said, this list fails to mention one of the Senator from Arizona's favorite, most famous campaign stump jokes about a pair of Irish twins who get so drunk every night, they forget that they're related and discover they have so much in common, they become fast friends.
